A challenging futureholds unprecedented opportunities

Sometimes it seems like communities around the world are facing an impossible task — transitioning to a fossil-free, sustainable economy while meeting the world's growing water, food, energy, and materials needs.

Yet, we believe that these challenges bring about unprecedented opportunity for people, cities, and businesses to thrive. In fact, we believe the biggest business opportunity in a century is knocking on our door.

Our goal is to be catalysts of this transition.

Think differently, unconventionally and from a new perspective. Serge and his team assisted us in the organisation of a three-day conference in Rotterdam. We experienced Futureproofed as a highly professional and competent facilitator. They’ve challenged our youngsters and I was more than happy with the quality of new ideas that came out of the conference. Plans are already underway for a next event.

— Alain Bernard, CEO DEME

With the Covenant of Mayors we’re taking up a binding engagement to do better than the provincial plan of Climate neutral organisation 2020. We asked Futureproofed to help us map the carbon footprint of Mechelen, as well as to help us develop a reduction roadmap which will be used by the city council as a starting point to set up city-wide policies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. Futureproofed was very rigorous in mapping our carbon footprint but also provided concrete actions. It’s now up to us to realise our energy saving potential and pave the way for a zero carbon future.

— Marina De Bie, Deputy mayor, City of Mechelen inter alia for the environment, climate and energy

With our company we want to create added value on a sustainable way. Gaining insight into the environmental impact of your business is important to get CO2 on your radar and get to look at reduction potential. Futureproofed helped us in preparing our first carbon footprint, where we used the GHG Protocol as a guideline. Through this joint project, our engineers are now able to refine and update our numbers each year. Before we publish our results in the annual report, we do an external audit. This boosts the quality of our data systematically and we learn continuously.

— Jef Colruyt, CEO Colruyt Group

GE Lighting is pivoting from a product manufacturer to a system solution provider focussed on customer outcomes. I believe Futureproofed did a great job because they were able to analyse, verify and visualise the results we deliver with our systems. Futureproofed is a very hands-on and agile company with visionary ideas. Their approach really helped us to propel this project forward.
